Java WebStart Cache
As of Java version 6 the Java WebStart Cache can be found in the following locations.
On Linux
/home/$USER/.java/deployment/cache/
On MacOS-X
/Users/$USER/Library/Caches/Java/cache/
On Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\
On Windows Vista and later
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\
Analyzing several of the *.idx files (from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\) in a hex editor indicates that information regarding the downloaded content starts at offset 0x80 in the *.idx files. The first two string values to extract from this data are prefaced with their lengths in 4-byte DWORDs, stored in big endian order. To get the first string, read the DWORD at offset 0x80, and translate it as a big endian value (in Perl, use unpack("N",$data)). Beginning at offset 0x84, the string is length characters long. At the end of that string, the next DWORD is the length of the second string, also in big endian format.
